WHY DO ADS HAVE TO BE IN EVERYTHING?? This podcast was great until the last two episodes when the ads showed up like party crashers. One ad showed up two episodes ago, then in the last episode there were three. If a podcast ad blocker ever becomes available, then I’m signing up without...Read full review »

Love this shorter format! This show is so well done. Can’t wait to binge! Hopefully I can sleep tonight.

This podcast is sooo good! While I am a Sword and Scale plus member, it’s great to hear shorter stories by Mike Bouldet! Excellent podcast! Please keep them coming!!!!!!!

It’s never a bad thing to have more sword and scale content.
toe toe toed via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/26/23
As an avid true crime explorer, there is rarely a podcast that covers cases that I’ve never heard of before. This one is the exception! I’ve only heard about one of these cases, and so far they have all been the weirdest most unusual cases I’ve heard. I love it. Thank you, Mike you’re doing a...Read full review »

I have sword and scale plus. But I am getting ads while listening to this latest episode. Wouldn’t I also get this show ad free?
birdgang1420 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/25/23
I love this pod! Love the voice! Great stories! Keep them coming!
Stephanie Adkins via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/25/23
I figured that if I paid for sword and scale plus that this would be ad free. I hate when episodes are really short and half of it is just ads.

I am a subscriber but the latest episode of S&S Nightmares has commercial breaks.
Spork 67 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/25/23
I am actually not a big podcasts person, but I absolutely LOVE listening to all Sword and Scale. It is my go-to every single time I get into the car, or on a plane! Absolutely obsessed!

I can’t say enough good things about this show. The host combines excellent storytelling with just the right amount of humor and suspense.
JoyOfKittens via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/25/23
Been listening to Sword and Scale for years. Subscription and everything. This is garbage - 10 minute stories with 10 minutes of ads.
Anonuser24 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/24/23
Five stars!
Lamiller76 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/24/23
But at 30 min, nearly seven ads is wayyyy too much, and if that weren’t bad enough they are the most annoying kind- double volume of the podcast, high pitch screaming voices. I could probably tolerate it if it was just the host promoting products, but this was straight up unmanageable.

Love it!

Shorter episodes but still high quality. I recommend .
Blahblahblahblahredmind via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/24/23
My happy place! Mike! Thank you for bringing us more to love!!
Loveand5 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/24/23
My boy Mike, coming in hot with EXACTLY what I needed. A sleepy crime show. Thanks Mike!
ANTX15 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/23/23
Well done Mile and the team. Love this change up in format and will keep listening!! S+S (and Plus) is my favorite!
BallGirl1126 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/23/23
First off there are soooo many ads in such a short amount of time. Second, the… narrater… talks.. like William… Shatner, pausing at awkward times mid sentence and it… gets… kind of……..Distracting. Lastly, I never understood why people love making a living off dramatizing the events of tragedy. I...Read full review »

Fabulous story telling voice. Easy to understand with great clarity. I’m obsessed with the variety of the stories. Great work
Islanddoug via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/22/23
Sorry, no one does it better than this guy. I’ve being listening to Sword and Scale since forever and I’m a plus member of course. This is just as riveting as everything else he does. Period!
Way wah wah via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/21/23
Amazing. The detail and the compassion for the victims but also portraying every episode correctly. I love it.
Bxmblebee1990 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/20/23
Mike’s voice goes in one ear and goes out the other. Stories are too short and unappealing. Doesn’t pull you in. You might as well listen to pure static, it would be more interesting then this crap. I’ve heard better ghost stories around a campfire when I was 8.
highwaycatcher via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/20/23
Mike Boudet could read a recipe out loud and I’d listen. His voice was made for a podcast. He’s an amazing storyteller who gives a lot of history on the victims & interviews with family. Sword and Scale will always be favorite, number one podcast. For life!
LaLa_Smo216 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/19/23
I thought the stream wasn’t buffering properly because the way the host adds ridiculous pauses for no reason in every… … sentence. Sounds like he…suffered… ….a… brain…injury.
Matt_B_W via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/19/23
What else can I say, other than addicted to Boudet! Great sound production as always too.
Di'Lazaro via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/19/23
Another bullseye!!! Your simple the best , better then all the rest 🎉🥳
ticki29 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/19/23
Mike Boudet at his best. This is amazing storytelling! “True Crime for bedtime …” the music and the way Mike unwinds each story set the perfect mood.
Review247 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/18/23
Love love love! The scratches the itch I needed ,especially when waiting for sword and scale to release the normal episodes
SarahDav1988 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/18/23
I didn’t think Sword & Scale could possibly get any better. Honestly, not having the audio interrogations and interviews doesn’t make much of a difference for me, I love his voice the best anyways. I am continually amazed at the script quality and top notch production value he CONSISTENTLY...Read full review »

Great podcast!! I love anything true crime and mike does a great job telling stories! 100000% recommend.
julierxxxxxxxxc via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/17/23
I follow lots of true crime podcasts, this is my favourite. The narration is impeccable and exciting, the stories are thoroughly researched and treated with respect.
pussymeowmeow via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/16/23
Such a good podcast. Stop what you’re doing and binge now!!
Jaimi Acres via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/16/23
This podcast is up there in the top ten tells the story gets you hooked line and sinked. Makes you want to look around every corner before you enter a strange place or even your own home. Man this stuff is real and no not a scary movie my god there is no end to these scary stories in real life
louise1942 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/15/23
Honestly, I’m finding myself feeling exhausted listening to this guy’s voice. There’s weird pauses, often. He has a good voice, but this is just something I cannot lose myself in and listen to.
PeePeeOnYe via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/14/23
I just got around to listening to “Nightmares”today, and have been binging! I am a plus member, and have not missed an episode of Sword and Scale! I think Mike has the very best voice in podcasting, and I am so appreciative of the fact that his grammar and pronunciation are spot on! He always...Read full review »

I am a long time listener and supporter of Sword and Scale. I love Mike’s passion and dedication to his work. I look forward to the episodes each week and will continue to listen to and support Mike’s projects for as long as content is released. My only complaint is- I WISH THIS WAS A DAILY SHOW!
*emily via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/12/23
They hate you cuz they ain’t you. Period.
Meghan My Way via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/10/23
Been a fan of Sword and Scale for years. Pleasantly surprised with this new extension. These Short true crime stories are a perfect reminder that the worst monsters are real.
04131980 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/09/23
Another win by the only Podcaster I can stand to listen to. Started binging Monstrous also and it is by far the best thing I have ever heard. You three guys are pure magic together. I usually hate everyone and everything they say or put out so it’s nice to find something I can listen too where I...Read full review »

This is a great podcast with really interesting stories. The format is perfect for bedtime listening which is what I was looking for. I’m hooked!
MelRod1972 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/07/23
Love sword and scale now that S&S Nightmares is out it’s just as good as the original!! I love that it covers stories that maybe aren’t as detailed and aren’t capable of having a full story on.
Smoofkitten via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/06/23
I love sword & scale and how detailed it is. When I heard this was a new one I had to try it out. Love how it’s just a tiny bit shorter but not lacking any details. I listen to it in the morning while getting ready for work. And finish it on my short drive! Keep up the good work!
K.Canney via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/06/23
I have been listening to Sword and Scale for YEARS, week after week. So happy Mike came out with this new show, it’s amazing!! Love the storytelling, the build up, the sounds, everything! Bite sized stories that are easy to follow. More please!!!!!
aharris242 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/05/23
Just discovered this podcast yesterday and I have already listened to them all. I love true crime and this was definitely up my alley. Sad that I’m all caught up but definitely got a new subscriber. Keep them coming!!!
